adapter directly from the static-protective package to the adapter slot. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion slot before you turn on the computer. Incomplete installation of an adapter might damage the system board or the adapter. Rear adapterretention bracket 1394 Expansionslot cover Adapter Front adapterretention bracket 9. Connect required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans. If you are installing an optional SCSI adapter, see "Cabling an optional SCSI adapter" for additional information. 10. If you have another adapter to install, repeat steps 4 through 9. 11. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the closed (locked) position. Note: If any adapter in your computer is large or has heavy cables attached to it, you can secure the adapter with a screw: insert one backup expansion-slot screw (stored on the frame-support bracket) through the top of each adapter bracket into the screw hole and secure the adapter before proceeding to the next step. If you use a screw to secure an adapter, you will have to secure all adapters with screws. You cannot use both the screws and the retention brackets to secure adapters. You must use one method or the other. 12. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the closed (locked) position. Note: The rear retention bracket rests against the computer side cover. You might find it easier to lay the computer on its side to replace the side cover. 13. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, replace the side cover (see "Replacing the side cover" on page 40), reconnect the external cables and power cords, and turn on the computer. Then, go to "Completing the installation" on page 40. Cabling an optional SCSI adapter You can install an optional SCSI RAID adapter in your computer to control the internal hard disk drives and provide additional RAID capabilities.
